Chinese, male, 有这两个词在,我想不用多解释了。
==========================================
这里大概小娃的父母多,对上好大学的严峻情况不是非常了解。在这里 mysc1234给大
家看个今年的真实案例,从http://www.collegeconfidential.com 上找下来的,是个小中男。大家认真想想,若干年后,你们的孩子能有这个小中男这样优秀的成绩吗?相信对大部分的孩子来说是绝不可能的!但即使取得他这样优 异的成绩,又能怎样??!!看看血淋淋的事实吧,听听他无助的呐喊,再想想该如何教育,与其说引导你自己的孩子不如思考一下如何引导自己,思考一下华人的未来。

[/list]General Comments: Honestly, I've been more confused than saddened
over past few days after decisions came out. I know that I wasn't going to
be guaranteed to get into any Ivies or highly ranked schools, but getting
rejected by most of them and then seeing the people that got in... makes it
seem like my four years of high school were all wasted and thrown down the
drain. Been trying to find flaws in my application, and except a few minor
ones, I can't come up with a valid reason why other than the fact I'm an
Asian male. If any part of my gender and ethnicity had been different,
pretty sure I would be in a more fortunate situation than now. Anyway,
congratulations to the rest of you that got in, enjoy your next four years
of college.
